  • Amazing truly amazing

  • amazing series!!! why can't we show this kind of stuff on tv!? :)

  • @ankobean11 because most people wouldn't watch it... they are to busy with their sitcoms and sports

  • Thanks for the vid. i am in the marketing industry myself and know EXACTLY what you're talking about. moderate consumption and sustainability actually results in more personal fulfilment because then you have extra time and money to spend on things that actually matter instead of being a slave to shopping to make yourself happy ( but for a very short time so you have to buy again) its much more healthy to spend time with loved ones and to look out for each other and be creative than to shop! :)

  • (Part 3) I’m all for conservation and renewable resources and energy, but this video is ridiculous! Lying to make your point is no better than the what the Corporations are doing. This is literally the biggest piece of propaganda that I have seen in recent years.

  • (Part 2) Bush did not tell us to go shopping after 9/11, there is absolutely no truth to this rumor. You absolutely do NOT need to buy a new computer when you want to upgrade your specs! Thats ridiculous! Most people who are computer literate even a little bit KNOW that this is complete BS! Computers are not Jigsaw Puzzles! The new hardware fits! Believe me! And since when do people laugh at others for their heal size?!?

  • (Part 1) There are so many "facts" in this video that are simply untrue. 50% of our taxes do not go to the military, only 20% do. The UN recently reassessed their view of "slums" after finding that the slums are away OUT of poverty. We do not simply take resources to factories to dump "toxic" chemicals on them, although some chemicals unfortunately do slip through, but not in the amount that this video makes it seem.

  • For those of you who recognize how we are destroying our very planet I advise watching Zeitgeist: Moving Forward, available on youtube, that has everything to do with what is discussed here and offers a viable solution.

  • My dustbin is right next to my computer table. I was just looking at it as she spoke about disposal.. I buy a lot of shit man! Gotta stop.. Good work..

  • That's all about right-- either we start fixing the system now, or we become forced to fix the system very soon.

  • very nice work

  • Very good - whole series great. We certainly need more people thinking about these issues. Cheers.

  • Good stuff

  • not only in USA it's hapening it's hapening all over the world...like Uk and Latvia too..

  • You are correct ElShadaLives. What is sad is that many people don't understand enough about Native History, much less think critically about it. If they learned about Native History from the purspective of the people that lived here before columbus then appliwed it to world affairs, they would see that the same thing the US did to the Native population here is the same thing they are doing over seas now.

  • communism sounds like a good idea but it just doesn't work.

  • Just stop consuming so much! Do you think you're going to take it with you when you die? Guess what? No one, in years to come after you're dead will remember what kind of car you drove or how many big screen tv's you had, so what's the point? Stop to smell the roses, spend more time with the family. How many times this week did you all sit down to dinner? How many times did you laugh or even smile? Are we living or just existing?

  • The IRISH freemasons are responsible for this bullshit happening today!

    They control the U.S. and British government behind the scenes known only as the "Celtic Brotherhood"! I say let us go to Ireland and take a shit in their backyard as they did to ours!

    FUCK THE MICKS AND GINGERS!

  • Listen, everybody--the biggest danger here is that this corporate rule is actually a plutocracy. That's NOT what our Founding Fathers started with or intended! It's actually AGAINST the free market. It seeks monopolies. It eventually it leads to Communism once people get mad enough. Very bad, indeed!

    We can stop it! Here's the solution: REVOKE CORPORATE CHARTERS!

  • Comment removed

  • you are a communist lady...

  • @montesdecenas Capitalism can't survive without a little communism just as communism can't survive without a little capitalism. (:

  • Idealism... I almost forgot what is looked like. You know what's wonderful about idealist? They buck the system and bring about change, usually for the better.

    This very pretty young lady makes some good points. Although, dioxins are not an independent contaminate, they are part of chemical compounds. That's a problem as we can diffuse the effects of certain types of these compounds when we reuse them, but the same process won't work on all of them.

  • I wasted 20 minutes to be told to go green?

  • this should be on TV!

  • yea

  • This is a repetition to events that have occured before in the human history. It is all already forseen and now must be made complete. A different time but with the same ending. Its inevitble what will happen. If man wants unbalance then let him recieve the consequences of it. (^_^)

  • we all understand this!

    But we can't stop this!

    We all shoppo seak!

  • wow after all that she said, youre still not getting the point? there are facts out there, do your research. though it is COMMON SENSE.

  • Meh, she's right, but life never adapts until it has a need to, so until people either start suddenly dying in the streets(often) or the global warming crisis finally gets around to biting us in the ass, no-one will change. That is the sad part. <-what a rant!

  • Umm the whole idea is we need to perticapate to change. What you state here does nothing. Its not about global warming as its not global warming its natural climate change but its the air we breathe thats unhealthy.

  • giggy

    maddiegirlh67 is right

  • Hey, does anybody know the name of the music playing during the credits? So groovy, I want it

    Thanks

  • she should summarize the video and give a big picture before going to the details.

    its so vague, can do better

  • lol its funny, i have to asume that all the guys trollin on this series are rednecks and everyone who liked it are hippies, so... i think im mexican and we have been doin this since day one, so we are only waitin for americans to start doin their part, because its a fact, ur are the worlds dumpster, and if u dont see it soon, u will be swimming in shit sooner than u all imagine....

  • watched the hole thing!!!! awesome vids!!! everybody should think about this....

    there was one thing missing: meat and animal products... they are bad for the economy and environment, too. everybody should eat less. if everyone in the world would eat meat once a week, there would be no hunger.

  • WAW I don't know what to say.....

    Its an eye opener.

  • Honestly, great series. But we all know this...Its very easy to criticize the system but coming up with a solution that works is nearly impossible.

  • The Venus Project.?

  • shes not helping she just want you to buy crap just like big busness

  • Shes creating awarness with is a valuable deprivety of people today.

  • stop being negative. she's trying to help

  • @Maddiegirlh67 not only in USA it's hapening it's hapening all over the world...like Uk and Latvia too..

  • @Maddiegirlh67 agreed

  • i r heart the environment :( but fuck that im not loggin off my computer lol

  • Wow what you said. Live with gravity. Thats the point, we do not have to because gravity has been conquered. Thats the whole problem. Gravity is a compression that is suspended by electrical pressure. You can't get greener than zero emissions now can you.

  • we share the same views on gravity. i never saw anyone else put it just the way i see it but with less words. electrical attraction of particles reciprocally stretching timespace

  • The American Indian before used everything. Had the best system, the happiest children. No taxes. Etc. Looks at what they had compared to what we have now. Pretty much the 7 deadly sins hard at work now. Sad, truly sad. Nothing toxic should be made. Packaging materials should be able to be burned in your back yard w/o creating toxins. I got a neighbor that burns plastic bags. 2.5 lbs of burning plastic will cause cancer in 5000 animals. I tell him & he don't care. INSANE!

  • @ElShadaiLives

    2.5 pounds of plastic does not cause cancer in 5000 animals or anywhere close to that

  • @Supish16 Your proof for your argument?

  • Your source?

  • @Supish16 PLASTIC BAGS ARE DANGEROUS - YouTube prevents me from sourcing my material, google: toxicity of burning plastic. Anyone that doesn't believe that burning plastic is not toxic is either extemely ignorant or a liar & not just a liar but a damned liar!

    Who do you work for? Dow Chemical? Dupont? It is your position it is okay to burn plastic bags next door to your neighbors children, garden, dogs & cats? How ignorant are you? Show me evidence supporting your argument.

  • @ElShadaiLives

    I know that it is toxic and dangerous, but i don't believe that it can give 5000 animals cancer from just 2.5 lbs of plastic, one or two is more believable

  • @Supish16 That is what I read. Should I source it? I'll try. If burning plastic gives just 1 animal cancer does it prove that burning plastic is detrimental to health? Yes. Should man burn it? NO, point? ESL wins. Supish16 loses? Yes.

  • @ElShadaiLives

    I never said that we should all burn our plastics, it's just that a measly 2.5 lbs of plastic cant possibly give 5000 animals cancer unless you have them all cramped up in a tiny 5X5X5 space and fill it with burning plastic fumes.

  • @Supish16 - Not my invention, it was from an health article I read about 9yrs ago. Think of a feed lot down wind of a burn barrel. How long does it take for that much plastic to burn? How much smoke in parts per million from this burning plastic do animals need to breathe to get cancer? I don't know either. If the smoke was sitting in a low spot & animals were breathing it; is it possible? I'll try my best to find the article. Shalom.

  • @Supish16

    ESL, "When plastic bags burn, the composition of the bag mixed w/ the heat produces a highly toxic chem: dioxin. Dioxins have been linked to cancer, can interfere w/ the endocrine gland system which produces hormones, & have been known to affect both the immune system & reproduction. Cont'd my channel 10-Dioxin

  • @ElShadaiLives

    That is just not true. Look at what the Anazazi did - they cut down all the trees, overpopulated and disappeared forever.

  • @topismom2 You believe the txtbooks all you want. Living as they did they overpopulated and eventually had to go further & further for foraging & hunting. The so. Amer tribes live in huts that they move when an area starts getting thin. They don't over hunt it or pick it. The one tribe I am thinking of has about a hundred mile track. Very smart.

  • @ElShadaiLives

    What textbooks? You agreed with what I said, that they overpopulated. I live in New Mexico and can see that all the resources, especially the trees were all used up. Whether the Anazazi died off or moved and then did the same thing elsewhere, the fact is that they didn't "live in harmony with nature" as the myth goes. OVERPOPULATION is my biggest beef and have been a supporter of ZPG for 30 years. I don't have children, we use the same tv we bought in 1993, only shower 3x a week

  • @topismom2 I don't think it was the trees or the population. It was more than likely climate change such as a drought that caused them to move. Their system was still better than what we have today w/ our 2.5 million laws, the coming cameras everywhere, & the present enslavement of the populations of the world by the NWO via commercial paper. The best system is the 10 Commandment model which we had when he used as money gold & silver; over what we have today with the 10 planks model.

  • @topismom2 Look @ the landfills! Plastic bag insanity! No container should be made w/ toxins. Go back to materials that decomposed easily like paper bags but instead of made from trees, made from hemp. These containers would easily decompose into compost! Instead of landfills have composting sites where one can give the materials & later be bought back by the ppl. The excess could be used by farmers to keep their soil healthy. BUT NO! THE GREEDY OIL & CHEMICAL COMPANIES WOULD'NT HEAR OF IT!

  • @ElShadaiLives

    I have been using cloth bags to shop since 1968 when I lived in Europe and they didn't even have paper or plastic - you had to bring your own bags to even the largest "super-markets'. Half my clothes are from thrift stores, I recycle more than goes into the landfill. I re-use a stupid plastic spoon until it breaks. Only wash my towel once a month. We use only 100 gallons of water/day when average Americans use 350-400 per household. But my best solution - not having kids!

  • @topismom2 Thanx for sharing. I use cloth bags 2. Wife & I exercised ZPG. Most of my clothes are from garage sales or thrift stores. I use silver dinnerware as it prevents some diseases. I unhooked the plumbing under the sink & carry buckets of water to the garden. I use baking soda, vinegar, & castile soap for cleaning. I don't shower in the water here because it has a commercial swimming pool chlorine chlorine in it. I use 1 gal glass jugs to burn the chlorine off for cooking use. Shalom

  • These videos truly scare me... I don't want my little brother and eventually my children exposed to this rant of BS... Sure.. too much waste... even Planned Obsolescence... but this is no solution... and as I recall... (I was about 10 when it happened) Those very words left President Bush's lips. He told us to Grieve and Pray... I REMEMBER THAT! Not once so I recall ever being told to shop in a time of crisis... I only watched these out of curiosity... I'm horrified that I wasted the time.

  • The solution she has is just removing the 5th step, waste. Pretty sure that's just Recycling, and the worst problem, the "Golden Arrow" is still there, it's just green now.

  • im sure her and the tide company that put this together used resources that hurt the planet. they do have a web site witch means they must be using a computer or two and must have some employes that use paper witch uses our trees. i think you get the point they should practice what they are preaching. in fact i bet she is listening to her ipod right now.

  • This commie bitch can suck my ass. I'm gonna go take a shit on her doorstep and tell her its a compost heap because I'm going green!

  • Oh and thank you also for al lthe GREAT examples you gave for 'alternatives"....not one specific example...BUT as she said it's "happening right now" WHERE IS IT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?!?! what a self righteous moron.

  • are you kidding me....thank so much for this enlightening video....i had NO IDEA we were all pure evil...oh the shame of it all. The reason people consume like idiots is bc they are small minded and and have people like Britany Spears and Paris Hilton as their super heros.

  • I guarantee that if she lived in this green fantasy land she talks about, she'd quickly be missing and crying for the life she used to live. Naive.

    I mean, okay, yes, much of this is true. Too much waste, planned obsolescence, etc... All good lessons. But, why put so many political cheap shots in there? There's too much BS exaggeration in here to call it a good film.

  • Much of this is true,yet behind this all is a politcal left.Why blame Blush and talk about Health Care as in part 5.

    This is a socilaist video they are showing to kids in schooll and many parents don't know.

  • EVERYTHING our government has ever touched has turned to rust. I don't want our government in control of our business and resources... THAT'S NOT FREEDOM ASSHOLES.

  • green chemistry is for the weak!

  • We also need no crime, war, and racisme BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

  • Brilliant series. Enjoyed it very much.

  • i really like vid video and although i already agreed with it i think it'll be a great source for those who havent really thought about the big pitcure.

  • We need Free market capitalism back so When I demand a clean "green" or whatever product it is supplied. One that doesn't pollute my earth and my childrens futures. Plus they treat their people good, thus I use my money there to make them a success. Why did people let government and corporate elite just build and build on corruption and control? Corporatism has got to go it is about as bad as any other totalitarian system.

    We need a Revolution of the mind, so people can Win not bigGovt.

  • The corporation is a product of the free market

  • It is result of government secretion into Private matters. Taxes, regulations, subsidies.. what ever deal allows them leverage over each other and thus corruption and back room deals not in our favor. Products of free markets would be what you demand and is made/delivered the way you want it to be and you agree to pay for it and allow the capitalist to succeed because you agree with their strategy.  Right now you get what is given...not free market capitalism.

  • the world does hate us retard. have you ever met anyone from outside of the US?

  • You are going about this in the wrong way. What these videos do is make the people who already agrees with you well - agree with you. What you want to do is make the people who don't agree with you change their minds, but your retorics just pushes these people away.

    Try not to colour the facts to your agenda. I bet it will have a far greater effect on the people you want it to.

  • It's all true. The problem is that the rich folks could care less and consume a hundred times more than the average guy.....let the world be damned and destroyed, the rich will not survive either.

  • besides all the stuff we consume in a linear system, the most important problem is the near exponencial population growth. Even though we reach a point of zero waste consumption, the consumption will always grow (along the population growth) so our planet is still sentenced .. and we are too.

  • Wow, you really have a problem with communism! Still feeling like burning witches?...

  • are all of you really that ignorant to think there is only one way or the other. we have to destroy the planet or we have to be slaves to it. get real

    humans are smart we can figure out a way to live in balance with the planet we live on. You guys sound like a bunch of robots

  • no, she is saying that throughout the whole process we only keep/use 1%. the rest is either disposable products (like tooth brushes) or packaging (think how much packaging there is for some products) and of course the waste products from the factories (for every one garbage can from us, there are 70 from the factories)

  • i think that she is giving out a good message, even if all you get out of it is that WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO STOP ABUSING OUR PLANET AND THE REST OF THE EARTHS POPULATION. but i do agree, things may be exagarated, but you have to admit that these people are trying to do a good thing

  • So wait...people have been working on these problems and it's not nearly as bad as you put it out to be?

    Ah ok...but I guess it wouldn't work out well for your video if you started out with that...

  • So many lies all over this video it makes me sick

  • Well, usually lies are on the other side so that's just fair, isn't it?

  • Power to the people! Stay strong my brother unt sisters!

  • haven't sean anything more simplisting and full of rhetoric falacies in years... if everything is as bad as that lady in this video explains, she should do herself a favor and commit suicide. In a slow an painful way, preferably...

  • Way to logically address the points you take issue with and offer a better way.

  • sounds like the biggest leftist Marxist propaganda that Ive ever seen they show this stuff in schools?

  • did u try to do it?? why or why not??

  • This isn't about politics, this is a friggin' reality. Anyone who sits down and contemplates our system of consumption will come to this conclusion. You don't have to be a marxist to believe this. You just need two eyes in your head.

  • This marxist propaganda is being shown in schools... That's really scary.

  • Who believes what some self educated biased house wife thinks?

  • the world does?

  • Ve are will destroy this planet and our species.

  • Quote: Cows emit 18% of green house gases. Knowing that red meat is a major cause in the increase of Heart attack in the western nations and that they eat enough food a year to feed the whole world population the 1,5 billion cows on earth is a concerning problem...

    Eat kangaroos... Tastes great, good for the environment. We can still enjoy meat.

  • so your answer is to use a gun to tell people what to eat.

    What gives you the right to tell others they can't eat cows?

    Eat kangaroos yourself.

    Better yet, sell us kangaroos.

    Don't try to initiate force to get your way. Thats how losers and small minded brutes act.

  • Yea the only thing is they didn't specify the meat they actually talk about ;)

  • this is one of the most important, mindblowing and so well explained video's i've seen the last few months,

    this is not just an ideology but a nescessity !

  • we suck ahahaha.

  • 2 tumbs up, we should recycle more and do something to protect our earth!

  • We're all just wilderbeasts.

  • everyone should watch this

  • i agree

  • Also check out the film Endgame it really ties together all the loose ends...

  • the earth is its own entity. it can exist without us. we cant without it.

    soon when richard branson launches space planes, all the smart people, rich people, important people, power people will be in orbit when they detonate the biggest nuclear destruction on the earth killing every human being. no need to worry about yourself then.

    wow i would make a good screen writer. but seriously. the earth knows what its doin

  • I like how you just jump to perogative conclusions. Because someone feels involve in his planet and community is obviously has no live. Well my live is doing pretty well and its not my point of view that will stop me from having a pleasant and fun LIVE. And I'm not yet entering the preface of any depression, Its just that when we beat record snowfall year after year because of the rising temperatures around here it gets me concern. defrost permafrost, floods in january.

  • Wow thats actually kinda scary..... i'm ashamed of myself now for being such a cunt to everyone just through buying stuff... at least its all starting to change.. slowly but surely

  • All that shes saying is true but lets settle things strait ...God will never let this happen !!!(My message doesan t mean much but its true its true what shes saing so lets try and help her at this !!!...and even if we dont succed God wont let it happen ...Am I right or what ???)

  • That would require God to exist. So no. You're wrong.

  • Keep your beliefs to yourself. I believe in God because I choose to. You choose what you want to believe, that doesn't make the other person WRONG..

  • God wants us to fix it ourself...thats why we have our own ability to decide for ourself ....he doesnt just go around doing things for us when we screw up. its called free will

  • yes i know, i never said that dude.

  • 1 day we just cant stop pollution , we cant even do anything about pollution . Pollution will just get stronger and stronger until it consumes earth and we will die 1 by 1 like killing us softly

  • Everything pollutes. If Humans wouldn't exist there would be pollution. Earth is a marvel because it can deal with this pollution by creating stability and sustainability. Ex volcanoes emits CO2 but Plants retransformes it in O2. The big problem is we chop trees and emit billions of tons of CO2. Our planet never had the time to adapt. By reducing the amounts of cows, and fossil energy we could simply save this planet. We have the technology. All we need is the USA to make something about it.

  • Did you say reduce cows?

    You know that the C02 that cattle emit from their behinds is an extremely small number % and that killing ever cow in the world (for example) Would do very little to the C02 emission problem...

  • Cows emit 18% of green house gases. Knowing that red meat is a major cause in the increase of Heart attack in the western nations and that they eat enough food a year to feed the whole world population the 1,5 billion cows on earth is a concerning problem... When we know the world could be a better place to live with a fraction of this number. Capitalist is void to fall enyways, so lets forget Mcdonald's benefit for a while and get concern about humanities future...

  • 1 day we just cant stop pollution we cant even do anything about pollution will just get stronger and stronger until it consumes our earth and we will die 1 by 1

  • this series is great, but i think it attempts to address too many issues all in one go, and ends up over simplifying a lot of them. this works fine for the people who are already aware of these issues, but that's not really the target audience, is it? the people who are ignorant of the issues hear a whole bunch of ideas they've been told are "left wing" or "liberal" or "hippie" or "communist" or whatever, and they immediately close down instead of actually learning and forming their own opinion

  • its simple and interesting enough to hold the attention span of those who might be otherwise disinterested and unaware. Anyone interested in going more in depth can pick up a book, or perhaps take a college course in whichever area they find most appealing. i think it was detailed enough.. they could perhaps use some referencing so those who doubt can quit their bitching.

  • nice message about creating somehting new. but she never gives the "other way", is she talking about communism?. didnt work.

    so what then?

  • what she meant the other way was instead of a scheme which leads to disposal of goods, we would have a scheme that would make things renewable. sure the technology isn't mature enough but it will if people would support it and invest on it.

  • like free the weed and all will be fixed

  • We must use what is handed down , sacred , written and oral tradition and THE TEACHING of the magisterium.

    If humanae vitae was followed , we would not be in this situation. And the only way to be truely good is to be Holy , and there is only one effective way.

  • What trash! You don't need church not to go astray. God made us with everything we need - He does know what He is doing doesn't He? Your last line has an error:

    "The greatest enemy is the Church" is the correct version.

  • annie!!!!

    you are a total genius to create and produce this!!!!

  • "That old way just didn't happen... people created it." Actually, the behavioural influence of our money system created it.  So, along with our efforts towards this new way, must also be the effort to find another way for people to function globally and to prosper- without money.

  • that isnt posible even thou i wish it was...

    if we didnt get money why would we work?????

  • It's possible, and most likely inevitable, but not really something we can easily comprehend or even conceptualize right now without butting into our current day mental roadblocks- since we'd have to imagine a completely new way of thinking and being that would seem alien to us. To answer your question, why would we work, well, we'd work for a lot of reasons, but most likely we'd work so we could survive- as we do now.

  • You work for what you love to do. If you want to make pottery, be an artist... anything. you have to do it because you want to do it, not out of a necessity of money

  • If every country in the world iligalized regular Light bulbs in favor of the eko-friendly ones, our over all pollution would go down by 12%. Just something id like to throw out there...

  • Not true....mercury in the 'eco'friendly bulbs is rather high. The only reason they want us to use them is to cut home consumption so it can be used other places.

  • I will definitely share this with everyone I know again, becuase it's so easy to forget about, especially around shopping season.

  • this should be shown at school! GO GREEN YAH!

  • I think the only thing dumber than this I have ever read is...Ah, forget it. You win.

  • In California, the state legislature passed the Green Chemistry bill this fall. Too soon to say how well it will be implemented; but it is a good example of steps to change the model, as discussed in this segment.

  • humans can be so stupid

  • With the pending disaster as a result of the credit crunch the US really needs to buck up their ideas- and fast.

    Remember- you can't just blame your government. It's YOU that's really making this whole thing work. Or should I say, fail.

  • I still blame society and the fucking government.

  • big corporations that want to make profit without weighting the effect or their production on the planet and the people are the ones to blame. There is no variable for the ecosystem on the financial market

  • yes - it beats taking any personal responsibility after all. Sure they have a role but so do we all with the decisions we make and how we live out lives.

  • man.. they should be showing this to american children in schools.. im british and have been living green for along time.. fixing my own stuff and despite my mother being a lectrer in fashion. have always shopped smart. ppl need to get their heads out of their nike trainer wearing asses and start to do something possitive.. get off your ps3's and get out to the garden and grow some veggies, take a class to brighten your future.. just do something good ffs!!!!

  • nicely done folks. Clear, informative, simple. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. Thanks for your work. I love you!

  • lol lets trash earth and go to the moon! lol... earth is gonna become our garbage can(jokes)

  • lmao but it would be mars, were turnin in th Martians (thy used 2 want 2 come 2 our planet now we wanna go there!)
